CHALLENGES IN TEACHING TLE

TLE teachers have a number of challenges within the Department of Education (DepEd), despite the fact that they play a significant part in providing students with practical skills and preparing them for the profession. Some of the most common challenges that Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers encounter are listed below for your convenience:

It may be difficult for teachers to teach TLE when they are working with outdated equipment and insufficient resources. For the purpose of providing students with a high-quality education in technical and vocational topics, it is essential to acquire adequate funds for the required resources, technology, and equipment. It could be difficult for teachers of TLE to provide engaging and pertinent lessons to their students if they do not have the resources they need.

Inadequate Opportunities for Training: Consistent training is essential for all professions, but it is especially important for those who work in dynamic fields such as technology and vocational education. This is because they need to stay current with the most recent advancements. Technical education and vocational training are two of the disciplines that fall under this category. There may be obstacles that prevent teachers of TLE students from accessing adequate opportunities for professional development. As a result, it may be challenging for these educators to stay up with the evolution of the industry as well as the innovations that are being implemented in the classroom. The teachers of TLE should have sufficient training to allow them to effectively impart practical skills to their students in a way that is both effective and efficient.

Because of the restricted budget available, some TLE programs are required to make use of certain locations and instruments, such as workshops or laboratories. In the event that there is insufficient infrastructure, it is possible that educational activities that include experiential learning will not be able to be executed successfully. When faced with classroom facilities that are either insufficient or antiquated, teachers of English as a second language usually have the challenging challenge of providing their pupils with an education that is adequate.

The only way to successfully solve these concerns is for those in positions of authority in the educational system, politicians, and stakeholders to collaborate. In order to better educate students for the ever-changing needs of the job market, the Department of Education (DepEd) may assist in identifying and addressing the issues that are encountered by instructors of English as a second language (TLE). They will be able to contribute to the enhancement of technical and vocational education as a result of this.
